At the heart of Shannon's practice as a therapist and supervisor she is committed to customizing sessions to meet the unique needs, personality traits, and readiness for change of each individual they work with. She understands that every client is different, and therefore, their approach is not one-size-fits-all. Instead, she takes the time to get to know each person, building a therapeutic relationship that fosters trust and openness. This personalized approach allows her to tailor interventions and strategies that resonate with each client’s circumstances and aspirations.
Intuitive and Compassionate Therapeutic Style
Shannon’s therapeutic style is characterized by its intuitive nature, blending directness with gentleness. She creates a space that is not only non-judgmental but also playful and educational, which encourages clients to explore their thoughts and feelings freely. While she provides caring support, she also challenge clients to step outside of their comfort zones, promoting personal growth and facilitating lasting change. Her areas of focus encompass a range of common issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and the journey toward becoming your best, whole self. Through collaborative dialogue and evidence-based practices, she empowers clients to develop the tools and resilience needed to navigate life’s challenges.
